I rolled my eyes when my mentor asked me to read a book called "The Slight Edge" by Jeff Olsen. Really?! A self-help book? Come on. What can that book really teach me?
My attitude just over a year ago is disgusting to me now. How egotistical, how ignorant, how stubborn could I have possibly been? I read faith-based books. I read books about how to grow in my relationship with God, but I never read books about how to have more success, earn more money, or become a better leader.
The Slight Edge changed my opinion on these so-called "self-help" books forever. Since reading The Slight Edge, I have read many personal development books including Developing the Leader Within, Start With Why, Go Pro, Entreleadership, The Compound Effect, and now I am excited to dig in to The Best Yes.
These books have made me realize just how much room I have to grow and improve! What started as motivation to strengthen my business skills has now infiltrated all areas of my life. Reading books like these have made me a better wife, a more attentive mother, a more grateful daughter, and a more thoughtful friend.
So if you...like me...thought you already had your stuff together, let me assure you...you probably don't! : ) I encourage you to pick up a great personal development book, and prepare to be amazed by how it positively impacts your life!
